Pay-to-Win AFK? Watch Me Smash the Otherworld

Zhao Hao died on an ordinary evening. His electric scooter toppled over, his delivery box hit the ground and spilled open, and the idle game on his phone kept running automatically. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a hunter standing in a completely unfamiliar world, a place of martial arts and dynasties, where strange beasts could devour human beings, take human form, and possess their bodies.

He had no memories and no one to rely on. At any moment, he could be executed as a strange beast for having "no memories." His only trump card was the idle cultivation game that had crossed over with his soul. While others toiled away at their training, he could gain cultivation just by lying around. The only problem was that the "pay to win" button stayed lit. He had to find something in this world he could use to top up his account.

From new recruit to commander of the Imperial Guard, from the village gates to the imperial court, Zhao Hao charged headlong through another world with a modern man's way of thinking. Amid blood and fire, he shed his easygoing nature and became ruthless and decisive. He met Yun Shu, a physician who saved lives without being a self-righteous saint. He found brothers who would trust him with their lives. And he faced the Cui family, who had held sway over the court for three hundred years and prolonged their existence by eating people.

Then, at the bottom of Ghost's Cry Valley, he found another bronze token. The character "Soul" was carved on it, along with a letter left behind by someone who had transmigrated three hundred years earlier: "To whoever comes after me, my name is Shen Yuan. The Cui clan are not human. Do not trust them."

Zhao Hao tightened his grip on his sword and looked toward the imperial court and Jiangnan. He would strike this blow on Shen Yuan's behalf. But deep within the ravine at the valley's bottom, something even more ancient was waiting for him...

After iron and blood, can a light and a road take root?
